[Q] registering Google acct via wifi..........possible?

Yo.
according to this post *here* its possible to bypass the phones Google register/Verizon activation screen, and allows a person to access to the phones home screen.
my question is this: since the Google register wasnt done, but its now possible to make use of the phones wifi, can we set the account to have permanent open access to the device w/o having to use the corner hack again??
the reason why Im asking is that I currently use a G1 as a wifi device, and Im *very, VERY happy* with it like that, but since its apparent the Android OS on the phone wouldnt receive any further updates (unless I wanna use a custom mod, and therefore have to root the phone to do so), finding an updated device which allow me the same type of freedom would be most preferable.
any & all replies are welcome.

[Q] Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo help

I know nothing about any of this so bare with me guys/gals please. Just need help once and ill remove my account. If any of you feel like im wasting your time then please tell me and ill remove my post. Thankyou and i hope someone will give me an idea of whats going on.
Friends ex girlfriend is remotely accessing his phone from her computer, she can lock him out and write text out of format on the lock screen. She has deleted everything on his phone 8 times in the past hour. The Verizon recovery app has been disabled, we went into the Verizon store and changed EVERYTHING, number, passwords, made sure if she ever called in wanting info she couldn't get it. There is no way she figured out any of the passwords, she doesn't have access to any of his accounts, gmails facebook etc... i thought for sure she was using the recovery app but that's impossible cause no account has been created to access to his phone. Idk guys like i said im not an expert one thing that has me most skeptical she can write whatever she wants, whatever color, on his phone on any spot on the screen. Its completely out of set text formations on the lock screen looks like doodles i guess. Just curious if you guys have have ever heard of anything like this happening before. Thanks and i apologize if this shouldn't be here just on a desperate attempt to figure this out. Verizon is completely stumped they have no idea how she does it, even the main tech guy at the store (idk his credentials) cant figure it out.

From what I've seen so far, Android Device Manager (part of Google's setup) can do remote wipes. as can Motorola ID. I imagine both of these may "automatically setup" when you re-activate the phone. Beyond that, you'd need an app to perform such changes, I'd think.
Also, if he's on a joint-account with his exGF, and if she has access to the account, VZ may be doing this without the store-people knowing it?

If it's Android Device Manager, maybe it would be sufficient to just change the Google login password?

Yeah, he changed his Google password right?

He was on a joint account but upon breakin up with her he took her phone, cancelled it, removed her from the account changed his passwords to facebook and google and everything else. Just for the guy to call in and request info he has to answer 5+ extra security questions before hes allowed any info. But ill check out the ADV maybe thats it. Thankyou

Help! Note5 is no longer recognizing my fingerprint

So, this sounds simple; but I guarantee you it is not.
I just got my Note5 about 2 weeks ago; and despite some missing key features, I really like it. Until today.
Carrier: Sprint (who apparently doesn't have 24/7 customer service)
My fingers were a little dirty (which they have been before) and my scanner wouldn't unlock the phone. Cleaned them and now it's already locked and seems to not really check the prints anymore?
First attempted fix: backup password, I know I set it up...but it doesn't work. None of the passwords I might use will work.
Second attempted fix: Google signin, I have a free google apps account and apparently using my whole email address as username doesn't work on this; also tried just using the plain username just in case. I know the password is correct. I'm the domain administrator.
Third attempted fix: Android device manager, tried setting a new password on the lock screen and was greeted by the infuriating message "Since google has verified that your screen is already locked, the password you set won't be needed"
Fourth attempted fix: chat with samsung support, which was utterly useless. Although I did find out that samsung has their own unlock utility...except that it has to be setup beforehand.
Fifth attempted fix: bang head on cement...hasn't shown any signs of working yet. Although I feel less frustrated.......and less conscious.
Theories: free version of Google Apps, sucks (the apps themselves are great)...I've had tons of trouble getting signed into certain google features over the years. Also I have no option for a support PIN to use to contact google support.
I think that my latest OTA update may have somehow changed or reset my backup password.
The last theory is whomever changed Android device manager to not reset lockscreen passwords whenever you want to...basically made that tool half as useful as it should be and completely useless to me.
Anyone have any other ideas, that don't involve a full wipe?

I was finally able to gain access to my phone. I had to disable two-step verification in order to sign into my google apps account from the lock screen.

I am having the same issues and tried ALL of the fixes you tried except I didn't get the notification to login with google. When does that happen?

I had the problem, too. I ended up having to factory reset. REALLY irritated by this.

Is Samsung 's Find My Mobile available on the Verizon Note 9?

Hi,
I setup my Samsung Account and it says under services that I have Find My Mobile.
I go to the find my mobile website and login and it has my 2 other Galaxy Tab Tablets listed but not my phone.
I look at setup tutorials and the say goto lock screen and security but my settings has a "Lockscreen" and a "Biometrics and Security" sub menu.
Under the Biometrics and Security there is a Find My Device which is set to on and when I tap that I get a page that has the slider for on and below it it says ways to locate device:
options are:
Find my Device
get it on google play
Web
Visit android.com/finf
Google Search "find my Device"
What is going on?
I am a little freaked out.
As I understand it if you use lock like pattern lock that through Samsung's Find My Mobile site you can reset the login if you run into trouble. I almost did run into trouble right after I finish setting the Note 9 up after 3 hours, I restarted it when I put in my Memory Card and my pattern was not working. Got to where I had 3 tries left. I turned it off reset the sim card and the memory card in the holder and it worked. There have been other times where it did not recognize the pattern once or twice but did finally. Not sure if with the curved screen my hand was touching the screen and that caused a problem or what but. I need the phone locked and I need Samsung's Find My Mobile with it's unlocking feature for piece of mind.
One article on seting it up a comment said they were told it was not available on the Verizon version. True not true?
What am I doing wrong to set it up.
I had lookout installed but removed that.
I also have Teamviewer Host and the Samsung Host Plugin for Teamviewer installed is that interfering?
I need a fallnback way to unlock if the initial one fails.
Thank You.

Enable usb debugging on locked phone

Hi there I have a phone with a forgotten pin code so I was trying to use some software but every software needs the phone to have the USB debugging enabled... so I was wondering how can I enable it from fastboot mode or are there other ways to do that?

USB debugging is not enabled through Fastboot but from Settings, Additional Settings, Developer options.
Google for gow-to 'become developer' and to unleash Developer options
However, if you cannot unlock your phone, you could not open Setting, My phone, etc, to 'become developer'
Btw, I really don't understand how a user can change a pin and forgot it
Pin protect from thieves when they stole a phone
Nevertheless, legitimate user (knowing his email and password he registered at Google) can still login from PC to the Google account and use the methods how to change pin/unlock the phone
